Folk music is just rap with the profanity replaced by a melody.
If you hate folk music I’d say skip it. Not a requirement but I find many people rate these films based on their own interests.
They did contribute a short bit to the Oscars show this year.
I saw the show live and it was a great rendition. And I must add, Annette looked absolutely stunning at 59- holy smokes, she’s a beautiful woman. With a beautiful voice.
You have to punch your own hole though.
“Hey! Wha happen’d?” <-- I bust that out in real life from time to time. That’s the funniest scene in the movie.
Fred Willard helps make those movies. His line in BiS about how much he can lift cracks me up every time, and in AMW, he’s perfect during the meeting with the Vice Mayor (it is the Vice Mayor, right? I’m going by memory, but those who’ve seen the movie know which scene I’m talking about).
For anyone who might be interested, he was interviewed recently on Marc Maron’s podcast, episode 262.
Deputy mayor. (“I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy . . .”)
Hard to pick Fred’s best line. He plays the best crass idiot ever.
I like his monologue about the famous pirate Moby Dick and his catchphrase “Thar she blows!”
Levy had a background in musical theater long before he became famous on SCTV. He co-starred with Victor Garber, Andrea Martin, Martin Short and Gilda Radner in the famous Toronto production of Godspell, for instance.
You’re right–“I shot the sheriff, but did not shoot the vice” doesn’t make much sense…
Now that I’m thinking about FW, how about his turns along side Spinal Tap, in asking them if they’ve ever seen a band called Four Jacks and a Jill? Or in A Spinal Tap Reunion, he says, and I paraphrase: “Do I remember Spinal Tap? Yes and no, I have mixed feelings about that.”
Of all Fred Willard quotes in all the Guest/McKean efforts, “he went after her like she was made out of ham” is probably the one that gets used most in my household.
